Question
On the movie soundtrack " Ali ", there is an instrumental  version of "All
along the Watchtower " ( and I thought I had heard them all..but not this) by a group called the " The Watchtower Four". Who are they ? Did they ever release an album, or are they  studio musicians ?  I really like this version , and if there really is  such a group as the Watchtower Four, I'd like to find a CD, but I can't seem to find that they ever existed.  If this song is just a mix of four different  artists version of the song put together ( Get it..the Watchtower Four? ) I will really feel stupid. Anyways, now I'm on a mission.  Thanks.

Answer
  I have not seen the movie and never heard the song.  I did some research and all I can find is that they did the one song. I can't find anything about who they are.  The only thing I can seem to find is that it seems they only did the one song, and there are a  lot of MP3 downloads of it available, and there is a soundtrack of the movie with the song on it.  
 I hope this helps.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
